From the factory the car doesn't allow it.
If you come to a stop in your car and stop/start kicks in, you can actually get out of your car and lock it. The car powers off and the doors lock.
If you'd prefer the ability to lock the car with ignition or engine on, then an adaptation needs to be made in the car.
You can do it through OBDEleven or VCDS.
OBDEleven has an app you can use to do this, so it's a really simple mod if you have the dongle.

I've been a vcds user for the last 10 years, just bought a hex-v2 as the old cable no longer cuts it with the newer cars / modules. Ross Tech are brilliant though...
I plan to have a bit of a dig about with cable tomorrow, seat belt chime first on the list of changes
How much was the new cable? The old ones used to be about £230!!!
OBD Eleven does everything VCDS can do and is much cheaper. Paid £38 for the plug in and about £21 for the pro license that lets you long code, scan for faults in all the modules, interrogate stored data in all modules etc and do app coding if you want to buy or accumulate free credit (6 credits a day for watching a few 20-30 second adverts).
Have done nowt with the wife's Polo GTI+ yet except scan for faults (only one is her disconnected soundaktor - will reconnect and turn it off).
Done lots with the Audi A4 though - read lots of data on DPF loading, activated high beam assist, activated lane assist, beep on locking, fully automated electronic brake, climate control remembering recirc status after ignition cycle and a few other things.
